reading data into a applet

i have no idea how to do this i want to read data into a

applet from a file be it a text file or whatever

i want to write a file this can be done with a application and ive seen some topics on it

my real problem is reading data from a text file into a applet i want to grab a bunch of number s probably integers and have my applet read them so it can use them and if i ever need to change the data i can do so

in the text file instead of codeing it all into the applet

any suggestions on how to do this or a exmple would be even better

thanks in advance lightwave
